James “David” Barnett, 52, passed away peacefully Monday, September 6, 2010 after dedicating his life to helping others. He had a gentle, kind heart with an accepting, peaceful disposition. He was born in Burlington, Colorado on December 31, 1957. He married his childhood sweetheart 31 years ago on May 25, 1979. They have been best friends for over 41 years.
He is survived by his wife, Vanessa and two children whom he was so very proud of: a daughter Lacee Bartlett and husband, Tim of Lubbock; and a son Andrew Barnett of Hart, Texas. He was also blessed with two beautiful grandchildren, Rylee and Ryder Bartlett, whom he loved dearly. He will be missed by his extended family; in-laws, Art and Eulene Cronk, brother-in-law Kim Cronk, and sister-in-laws Pam (Mark) Copeland and Kristy (Troy) Shirley, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Preceding him in death were his mother, Nezebeth and father, Jimmy Barnett.
David was a devoted, loving, and faithful husband and father. He always had time to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a man of great integrity with a strong Christian faith. He lived his beliefs. He also found great joy in his 31 years of caring for patients as a Nurse, the last 21 years at Covenant Health Systems working with heart patients.
His passion was working on and sharing his classic 1966 red Mustang (Baby). He was a member of the Lubbock Mustang Club and thoroughly enjoyed the friendships he made while working with the club on community projects and car shows.
Although a quiet man, he had an accepting peace that flowed over you once you got to know him. David, you are loved and cherished and will be greatly missed. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life. Our lives are better for knowing you and will be changed forever because you are not here to place your healing hands upon us. We love you.
Celebration of life services will be held at 3:30, Friday, September 10, 2010 at Resthaven’s Abbey Chapel with Brother Danny Henderson officiating. Interment will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park. A visitation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm Thursday, September 9, 2010 at Resthaven Funeral Home.
